An updated MIPS port of gdb is now available. Patches are on pokey.cs.wisc.edu in the the pub/gdb-3.5-mips-diff.Z. The diffs are relative to the official gdb-3.5 release. Improvements (of the mips port): * Much better support for debugging excutables without symbol tables. Can now do a stack trace even on a stripped binary, using heuristics by Alessando.Forin@spice.cs.wisc.edu. * Many fixes the in dis-assembler (thanks to Frank Yellin at Lucid). * Less screen-intensive "info registers". * I believe I fixed most of the bugs when passing parameters to a function called in the debuggee (as in 'print f(x)'). (The only known problem is when passing structures greater than 4 bytes long. I currently always align them on even word boundaries, even when mips cc doesn't. Of course, the mips convention causes stdarg.h/varargs.h to break...) * Various minor bugs-fixes. --Per Bothner bothner@cs.wisc.edu Computer Science Dept, U.of Wisconsin-Madison
